I always call mine “bro” or “my son”. Rarely do I ever actually say his name lol.

    I call my cat by his name (and sing songs with his name substituted into the lyrics) all the time.

    He’s deaf.

    Absolutely, among other names. She’s usually Margot, sometimes Meemers, Marmar, or Margalos, and sometimes she’s Stop Screaming.

    Only Elliot because he knows his name and runs over when you call him. Sometimes he goes by “not my cat” when I’m looking for my cat and he shows up. (He is my partner’s cat)

    Sully knows her name but dgaf and only reacts when she’s in trouble and I bring out the big guns (Sullivan). She’s usually just “my little girl” or “my little angel” otherwise.

    No I don’t have a favourite why do you ask

    My cat is named Loki, and it suits him perfectly cause he’s a bit of a fuckhead🤣

    He only answers to “Mr. Kitty,” and you have to say it like “Meeewster Kitty” or he will completely ignore you.

    I call my cat by his name, “buddy”, or just “cat” sometimes.

    Never “my son”
    Ever

        It’s all in fun. I’m not really judging anybody that hard, but it’s certainly not for me

    Kahn gets boy cat, Kahn coy Kahn, and kitten

    Minh gets kitten and spiteful bitch. She hates everyone and makes sure that dogs and cats alike always have food and water with her judgmental Meow and death stare. Don’t you dare touch her though.

    Sometimes, but usually I have nickmames for them, so Maggie is Maggs, Maggles, Magalicious, Maggalopolis, Maggapotamous, and my favorite name for her, Mama Bear.

      Yes, call them by their names all the time, but also use a lot of nicknames, like stinky/stinkies when they’ve done their business but left the crime scene partially uncovered.

      Also use putty or puttyputty a lot lately.

    Booker gets yelled at a lot so he very much knows his name well. He also knows Book or BookBookBookBook.

    Hollow on the other hand does get called by his name, but he couldn’t care less. They both do get called several nicknames as well.

    I call my cat by his name. Not his full name, just the first name unless he’s being formally introduced or in a lot of trouble.
